TACG 218 isn’t just about one squadron but is a combat group focused on many different squadrons branching many airframes, controllers, and even countries. We are working on expanding our involvement in the larger DCS World community by recruiting members for our squadrons and ways for players to enter our player pool for later recruitments if a position opens up.

Once a member of the TACG 218 community, our squadron members have access to our unique training program. We offer one on one training for our members as well as weekly training cycles. We offer training content made by our members that is unique to each platform or controller position and also have active members willing to support you throughout your training process. 

The goal of TACG 218 isn’t about training basic systems in the aircraft; it’s to make it so you learn how to fight in the plane efficiently and effectively. Our members provide practical training that teaches the more advanced aspects of the aircraft so that you understand how to use your skills to take down the targets using your advanced systems and situational awareness. Learn different tactical formations and skills to be an effective killer in the sky.

Lastly, TACG 218 is about training and making you part of a team. We have our pilots work together on joint missions ranging from multi-squadron participation to multi-country missions.
